Are you passionate about technology? Do you enjoy solving problems and helping people?

We're looking for a motivated and enthusiastic IT Technician Apprentice to join our school community and kick-start an exciting career in IT.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain real-world experience, develop valuable technical skills, and earn a recognised qualification while working alongside experienced IT professionals.

What You'll Be Doing

As our IT Technician Apprentice, you'll play a key role in supporting the technology that helps our school run smoothly every day. You'll learn how to:

No two days will be the same, and you'll gain hands-on experience across a wide range of technologies supporting our students and staff.

You will receive:

• A dedicated Apprenticeship Trainer
  
• Regular virtual coaching sessions
  
• Formal reviews and observations every 12 weeks

• Is friendly, approachable and enjoys helping others
  
• Has good communication skills
  
• Can work independently and as part of a team
